Back to work for many of us today. For me, last day of vacation before my classes start up again tomorrow. I even have to get up early. :blech:
OK, this is your last reminder. Marc’s on Comedy Central at 11 AM EST.

I’m a little ya:bong:, you dig. Sorry, but it has to be done man. I’ll be slow with it this mornin’/evenin’; just gotta sit back and take it as it comes.
Hey, I waited for someone else to post first…
Hey man. Me and my words are not the way to start the day. Somebody get with it.
Fine, I’m gonna go look for some cheetos (I know I don’t have any) and get sucked into the span.
Sorry Ms.PJSauter, I’ll cool it. I know it’s early.
Being on drugs in the middle of the middle of the night can be dangerous Travis.
I found a station that has a stream that has live talk all night. This was a lot better than a Randi Rant rerun

No funnies but plenty of inspiration
Good morning all. First off, I want to give a belated thank you to seanms for posting MLK’s I Have a Dream Speech Yesterday.
Can you stream comedy central ??
“…we are looking for a leader! Someone to lead us out of the wilderness. And today Al Gore sounded the bell. A call to arms that hit a nerve. It’s time to be unafraid. It’s time to take on these right wing zealots and push back harder than they expect…
Over 50 million people voted for Al Gore to be the President of the United States of America…So tread carefully, you pompous pricks on cable…If the mainstream media keep dismissing us, there will come a day when we dismiss them.”

Fred, that is the only thing that kept me sane in the mountains. I could only get it at night. B. Ward and Ray T (I would have to look up his last name.)
Please Fred, forgive me for disagreeing with you, because I respect you politicaly for your wisdom and beliefs, save for this.
Travisdem-04 I have a different few. It is truly medicine and I keep my blood pure so I can speak out. :bong: And my beliefs are multi-leveled: spiritually and psychologically and physically — to name a few concepts. As an example of one of my many beliefs is: Motrin has side effects — liver, kidney, etc and similar side effects with Tylanol (sp)and I haven’t even mentioned antibiotics.
I am getting tired — mistakes may be part of my M.O.

Marc Maron rants about the differences between drugs and medications and how hard life is for smokers today in this half-hour stand-up special
Army Orders Soldiers to Shed Dragon Skin or Lose SGLI Death Benefits
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/011606S.shtml
Sounds like the Monsanto seed fiasco.. The solders must use the DOD furnished body armor or they will loose their life insurance and get disciplined.
I wonder what division of the Carlyle group owns the body armor company ??
I wonder what division of the Carlyle group owns the boy armor company ??

Boy armor? I bet Jeff Gannon knows. :rofl2:
Sorry, Fred. Couldn’t resist.
Good morning :sheep::sheep::sheep:le!
But :bong: is a “natural” medicine — but do not drive. If one has an accident they are resposible.
Exercise and meditate is the truth to keep one healty. If “needing” the medicine, then it is telling. DO NOT TAKE :alc: if addicted. Do not smoke cigrettes if taking the medicine. If all is due to an addiction, then exercise and see a reverend or minister.
I have other things I could write, but I am fading. :yawn: Yet, I am still here.

Mike Malloy will start reading George Orwell’s 1984 Wednesday in the second hour. He said he will read 6 minutues of the book every night until he finishes. He was cheering Al Gore like the rest of us las night!
I fixed the syntax fiasco Kevin .. If that was true your comment would be so so true. This talk show host in San Francisco talks like he lives in a different country .. Says a lot more than most anyone on AAR (excluding Malloy) ever does. Nicki would like him.
fred, I read the story on TruthOut. :omg:
What do I do? Who do I contact? If anyone dies, due to that anti-armour “Dragon” directive, then the ARMY IS RESPONSIBLE. IDIOTS!
(I put it on Bookmarks so I can deal later.) This is soooooo wrong:!:

Good Morning MS Blog Warriors!
Oh, the Ark keeps drifting, but today we can view the captain on Comedy Central. What toys we must be that the heavens continue to play.
thanks for posting ugyur’s comments.
isi, Thank You . I read 1984, but wanted to reread it. I can not even open the book. It has sat in an opend slot on my desk for last 3 years. I shake when I try to open it. I think if somone else reads it, I can read along.
:fire:
Good morning Seditionists! I heard Malloy this morning…it was great! I think he has the best show aside from MS. I look forward to his readings of 1984. I signed up for that CNN pipeline here the other day after Malloy mentioned it….It hasn’t thrilled me so much thus far….but I haven’t given it much attention…
Druid I would send an unhappy gram to your senators and rep. Also write your local news paper editor.. even the rethugs should be alarmed at that one.
Man, I can’t watch that crap anymore. The Washington Journal callers are complete morons. It’s bumming my high….Thanks for the advice yesterday about the energen-C, Kat. I haven’t seen it at the store yet, but I’ll keep my eyes open
Hey buddy what’s up! Doin’ the :bong: thing! Yeah, the right wing creepos that call in on Washington Journal suck BIG time! :rant1:
More than just the rightwing. It’s almost everyone. It’s that damn tube that sucks everyones brain out and spits it into the street and then it washs away into the gutter. oh, before I forget, what’s up man.
Just checking in to say, Morning, Seditionists!
I am writing from my new tablet PC (thanks to all for supporting me through that decision), and trying to find a position that is comfortable for me. Right now my back is starting to spasm, so clearly I haven’t found it yet.
Last night I found some ugly RNC responses to the Gore speech, which I meant to post. I’ll try to locate them again. They are such evil fucks!
I also listened to a little bit of Savage “Weiner Nation”, “my morning” today for a bit. I do that sometimes just to hear what these dumbasses are talking about, and ofcourse he was ranting about MLK saying that 3/4 of everything he wrote or said was plagarized! 😡 What a stupid man…I can’t believe people would call in and support this right wing crap. I really want to start harrassing these bullshit artists….:jerk:
KAHN!!!!! With a new Tablet PC, way to go buddy!!! :banana:
:sammy: Hi, I’m Sammy the Stem Cell, and you can’t kill me. Tom Delay said so, because I’m sacred life…..heeehhheeeehheee…..
Savage “Weiner Nation”, is a lunatic. Remember when he had a show on msnbc. The guy was a stooge and they took him off the air, quick like a bunny. Man my brain is tweakin’.:doh:
You know what would be cool. Have you seen these prank call websites? I think some of it is funny but most are not well thought out and just juvenile or offensive. Why not record prank calls to Right Wing Radio shows! That would be great! A website dedicated to prank calls to Right wing Radio shows….:rofl2: What do you think?
CNN actually broadcasted Al Gores speach last night. C-span had it on twice.. MSNBC had snippets of it on.
No, I’m not on the:bong:. It’s the :40:. Not enough to ruin anything though.(Does that even make sense) I’m about to start ranting about life man. It’s on the tip of my fingers man. Ok, I’ve turned into madgardener, but just for today.
Here’s the RNC press release.
God, I hate these people! (I’m not sure they really are people.)
Yup, Jason, the tablet PC is waaay cool. Finally got the wireless network set up last night; now I can blog from anywhere in the house!
They did? They showed the whole thing fred? That’s good….:peace:
What time did they air it?
Uhhh.. CNN had it on at 9pm eastern.. At least that’s in prime time. I don’t know if they showed the whole hour and a half or not.. I just saw it on the schedule.
Prank call websites. I haven’t seen them. I’ve heard bout crank yankers. Something like that would be funny, I think. yeah…remember maron and the FBI,CIA skit. That was great.
Thanks for the link Kahn. Slimey bastards!, :sammy:, “oh, not you Sammy.”
I know it can be a hassle setting up a wireless network. We’re all on macs here and run through an airport…but once you get it working it’s fantastic!
Does the new law re: anonymous annoyances affect prank phone calls? That would suck!
(We do it in reverse. When we get repeat phone calls from organizations we have already asked not to call us, I am prone to answer–having seen who it is on the caller ID–with some outrageous exclamation. I also have an electronic whoopie cushion that I’ll activate into the mouthpiece. I guess I’m still a third-grader at heart.)
Check out http://www.kdkprankcalls.com/pcu but be warned some of it is offensive and not all that funny…there are minimal bright spots…in my judgement..
That’s funny kahn, I wish I had the courage to mouth off to those repetative corporate callers. I just shy away and say, “nows not the best time” or “I’ve told you before not to call”. It’s like a bad relationship or something.
Gluten Tag Seditionists of the Morning! Congrats on the tablet Kahn. Wireless is so cool. My whole city is set up for it, but I haven’t signed up for it yet. :sammy:
Travis, check out a pharmacy or health food store. It comes in a box with individual packets in it.
Kahn, as a person with three fusions and plates in her neck, I suggest you support your arm – ouch!
trms is pretty good this a.m.
But Jason, Sammy IS a slimy bastard:sammy: (I’m sacred life, Fuck You!)
I’ll check it, thanks. While I’m there I’ll look for those pills that Tin-man was lookin’ for. You know, the kind that help you grow a brain.
Okay, I’ll straighten up and fly right, before I crash.
The Zen sports intro is funny. Too bad I could give a crap about sports:jerk:
I don’t get much of that since the “do not call” lists (first in NY and then federal), but what I used to do is say “can you hang on a minute,” and then walk away for a while. Every now and again, I’d come back and check in, and then say, “oh, wait a sec.” Eventually they’d give up, but you’d be amazed how long some of them will hang in there.
Hi Krista! I know, but I love Sammy hheeeehhhheehhe:sammy:..Here’s a sorta funny prank call from George Bush to a Beer store.. here
On Super Sunday it is easy to find a place to park at the mall.. The only thing interesting about the TV coverage is the commercials.
Far be it for me to endorse anything such as this, but….
Dude, Pj, I’d laugh at the “wait a sec….” on the phone, but you don’t even want to know how many times I fell for that trick. Especially from one of my exgirlfriends.
I know this is way off the subject but Susan Sarandon, Morning Sedition Fave, will be on Martha Stewart today talking about Heifer International which is focused on ending world hunger. BTW Martha Stewart Omnimedia is a Blue Company. Now, back to what you all were talking about.
Good morning everyone!! Hard day yesterday round here and now theyve cancelled school in some of the towns because of too many downed powerlines and trees. Alot of the power poles snapped in half and huge trees were just hanging on the lines. There wasnt much about it on the news…strange…
and the police were so overwhelmed that they didnt have time to even go around and put cones round the downed wires and transformers sitting in the street. I was driving under and round these things wondering where the electric company was…where the police were…and they were on the main roads just trying to get those running.
I cant even imagine what new Orleans mustve been like. It was a whole day and a half no one came to help here….I just kept thinking: imagine if it was water to your shoulder and there were dead bodies floating by….
I really liked the Gore speech. Is there any chance in hell that he will run?…is it crazy to try to get him to.
Some of the things that I didnt like about him before have faded away in my desire to have someone who is honest and a straight arrow! I dont think anyone can say anything about him really. I expect the they will joke that he says he invented the internet and they will say that Tipper is anti free speech….Old stuff and not even true…
what great ideas you all have! I can’t wait for my husband’s ex-from someplace lower than hell calls…..:wink:
Letter to the editor:
Ive somehow lost my iTunes and I think it has something to do with whatever AAR is doing with testing their pay program. I kept getting a box asking me to sign in to AAR premiums and I kept clicking it off. Now today I cant even open iTunes…am downloading it again. The files are there but it wont let me access…I hope that if I overwrite it I can get it to open.
I suddenly got all of my AAR programs in a big bunch last night though….
Sounds pretty bad Melina…I’m sorry….and equating it with N.O. makes it even more depressing…:cry: Where are you at exactly?
Isi-I LOVE Heifer!! I give everyone certificates for flocks of chicks….its the best gift in the world! Wish I liked Martha as well…But I like Susan and Tim!
speaking of pranks, I love to pull pranks on the mr on April fools. You’d think he’d catch on but I can still get him to race out of the shower dripping wet in a panic! heh heh
I’ve read on huffpo about the possibility that gore would consider another run.
NCBlue! Great post Man, great post! 😛
Happy Benjamin Franklin Day!
Do we have any Philadelphians out there?:cake:
Im in Stamford CT which is riught outside of NYC…its a city but it has a huge north end which is totally woods and much higher up than the rest…so downtown can be fine and it can be snowingup here….but this wind thing was bad…and I cant possibly compare it to NO at all…it was just a taste of what happens when the resources are overwhelmed
And at the Shays meeting at the firehouse over the weekend the guys were saying that they didnt have the resources for disaster…this one guy had dug at the WTC for 2 weeks after 9-11…
I don’t know. Maybe the fact that he isn’t running allows him to speak freely. I didn’t think he was boring at all yesterday (but perhaps that says something about how boring I am). I think he was a bit more restrained than he has been in some other “post-hibernation” speeches he’s made so that the wingnuts couldn’t trot out the “Gore has gone nuts” crapola.
All I could think of was, do you think Bush knows anything about the Federalist Papers, or could quote from Jefferson, or knows about Adams and the Alien and Sedition Acts? I mean, I have no doubt that Gore wrote that speech. You think Bush could even write “The Pet Goat?”
When did it beomce a bad thing for the President to be smarter than I am (which isn’t really all that high of a bar)?
Now let’s see if the Raleigh N&O will publish it.
Every time we have an emergency caused by the weather I have to wonder how GW could declare martial law.. The military and the police are so far and few between in normal times they would never be where the person violating the curfew was.
NC blue…can I copy that and send it out??…email or to the paper? Maybe put it on my blog to be?
thanks for the heads-up on i-tunes; when i get up and running again, i’ll try to cancel the podcast subscription before loggin on. dg is one stupid guy. he limits who will listen to aar. can you imagine cnn not being on certain cables? I refer to aar only on xm radio and now you can’t even get free podcasts. short-sightedness.
better get moving, ciao!
Mrs. Farmerkat…give us the goods….can you remember a great prank you pulled on him? 😉
And Gore runnin’ again…I’d be behind that…I don’t know about Tipper though as the first lady, just my own opinion…she was involved in all that censorship crap in the late 80’s and 90’s….
fred, thx for suggesting who to contact to complain to regarding the Army’s horrid treatment of the troops.

Melina, you can use any of that. If you do add as many scandalous rethugs from your neighborhood to the list. I have my two Senators and a corrupt NC Congressman (Charles Taylor) in there most people don’t know. I think he leads all of Congress with three indictments that were later dropped by rethug prosecutors.
one last one:
great blog today
melina, that sound like a nasty storm.
nc, excellent!

My sister is medically knowledgable and neurotic…the Bird flu has been her craziness for well over a year…so we’ve all had to fill Rx’s for Tamiflu by hook or bay crook just to get her to leave us alone.
I have the Tamiflu but I keep telling her that if the bird flu really hits we will see thousands upon thousands of refugees from NYC walking up here and…do I want to be one of the responders if millions are going to die?
I keep saying that we are not going to have much help because the hospitals will be overwhelmed and so, as people who have had the magic Tamiflu, we will have to take care of the sick and dying.
Remember that Twilight Zone abotu the bank clerk reading in the vault when a nuclear bomb is dropped?…he finds the library and figures he’ll read forever and be happy but then breaks his glasses…
I dont know what any of that means except that I think hard about what it means to live through disaster.
I’m outta here to ya’ll. Have a good one…:fire:
oh, and NC, I think I may post that on my site as well as a short op-ed/Haiku. Is that okay?
Have a day:!::yawn:
Well, Tipper wanted labels on albums, which I don’t agree with. It’s one of those things that sounds good, but is a lot like movie ratings. If somebody makes an a adult movie (not a porn movie, but something with adult themes that really just isn’t for kids) and gets an NC-17 rating, theatres won’t show it and newspapers and TV won’t carry advertising for it. And that aint right. Hell, Wal-Mart (which is about as obscene as you can get, IMHO) already bans books, CD’s, and DVD’s.
On the other hand, Tipper’s a Deadhead, so she gets a couple of extra points.
Melina, some reports on the bird flu claim Tamiflu works on only one distinct strain. They have identified two distinct strains in China alone. The scary part is the strain in Turkey appears to be more virulent than what is in China. A third strain?
Jason- Regarding Tipper: The outcome of that was stickers letting us parents kinw what was inside of these things. I dont consider that censorship. Taking the records out of the stores or censoring them as in changing the words a la Walmart id censorship! I am pretty dilligent as a single parent with an 11 year old, but I must say that may parents I know need those labels…
Since when is labelling censorship? They should label everything!!
Now that Im older I have no time to listen to everything. Thank god my Will is into Green Day and politics and not rap…but he has anxiety and depression problems and I do want to know if something talks too much about suicide or stuff like that!
Jason, go for it. Have readers add more corrupt rethugs to the list.
pj:I’ll give that to her…if she’s a deadhead…and NC Blue, without your permission I posted it anyway… here
I hope you don’t mind…
Jason, your link yielded this:
Uh, never mind. It works now.

Wow, Tipper’s a Deadhead??:omg:She was the mortal enemy of musicians in the rock and roll genres. I guess I don’t need that second cup of coffee:doh:
Ah, how far the Republican Party has fallen from the days of Jefferson:
As the strong-arm tactics of Adams brought down the Federalist Party, let’s hope the tactics of the Bush administration will bring down the Republicans.
My head is starting to become dead, so I’m about to hop this joint.(hey, what’s that on the corner of my desk, next to the paraphernalia)?…..) I’ll check the LSD site and the Prank internet calls site. I’ll be back.
But if you remember the debate about this…it was censorship….Robert Novak was defending this kinda action 20 years ago. Frank Zappa had a great debate on CNN about it…..I know what you’re saying but this was about censoring words….I’ll try to find that video of Zappa debating Novak and some right winger from The Washington Times….it’s really stirring

Sharon’s Last Act, Palestine’s Last Chance
By James J. Zogby
t r u t h o u t | Perspective
Monday 16 January 2006
The situation unfolding in Gaza and the West Bank is, in some significant ways, an inevitable consequence of factors beyond the control of the Palestinians. The lawlessness, the intra-Palestinian violence, and the general social unrest were all predictable. When any society has been subjected to prolonged repression and deprivation, it usually reacts with violence, first directed against the perceived source of the oppression. Only in later stages, after this repressive situation has been sustained over a long period of time, does the violence turn inward in self-destructive and antisocial behavior.
In large measure, of course, Israel bears significant responsibility for this tragedy. Their relentless public relations machinery is working overtime in an effort to absolve them of any blame. What is taking place, they argue, is evidence of the violent nature of Palestinian society and provides reason enough for Israel to separate itself and protect itself from these people.
But Israel cannot escape its paternity for this situation. What is unfolding is the direct result of its policies. Palestinians, today, live as a captive people with the basic conditions of their lives determined by others.
I am, I confess, what some may call a “bleeding heart liberal.” Having studied other similar situations of prolonged oppression (Native Americans, African Americans, South Africa, and Algerians under French colonial rule), I understand the degree to which human behavior is shaped by political forces or the conditions of the social and political environment. The same is true in interpersonal relationships. There is ample evidence, for example, that battered or abused children themselves become batterers and abusers. I, therefore, cannot affix principal blame for the current situation on the victim…
http://www.truthout.org
Yeah, the Zappa debates on CNN were great. They’re over at iFilm.
And I’m not excusing Tipper; I think she was misguided, and I haven’t heard anything out of her about this in a long time, so I’ll give Al a pass, and let him stay married to her. 😉
hmmm- if labelling drives advertising…well, I know that there is alot of market for adult material, especially in Red states….I think its part of the American split personality and the move towards conservative christianity/extremisim in every area, which usually just hides the most disgusting of this stuff (as if the Walmart people arent the people on Springer’s TV show)…
I just think that with the way things are in every way parents need all the help they can get and advertising revenues be damned. How can it be wrong to want to know whats inside of anything? Like food labels…its just a matter or who is making the decision of what is and isnt sex.
I find violence to be worse in alot of these things…but often, at this point I want to know if its decapitation, penetration, frontal, animated blood or realistic blood, gore or just blood….
Its to much to keep up with….and I ultimately cant really stop him anyway because his friends will explain it to him in great detail anyway;-)
NC Blue I’d like to credit the quote to you…how do you want it credited?
But Jason- was Tipper for changing the words of the songs or for stickering? Zappa was against even stickering…bbut that cuts both ways in a world where parents dont really pay attention to what is being pumped into their kids heads.
This is such a quaint discussion now that we are moving away from anything that you can sticker!! I see the little “explicit” thing on iTunes and Im glad thats there…mainly because some of these hip hoppers have horrible ideas about women…but so do many comedians on comedy central…
Hey PJ, can you get a copy of that Sedition Act? That would be a cool thing to use on the blog. Like an animation of The Sedition Act being burned, Angus McFahrquarh style.
Melina, if you’re interested in seeing the Zappa debate go here
You’re right pj, it is ifilm and it’s a great watch. The kicker is that Frank even refers to himself as a conservative. My favorite quote from Frank in that debate…”Let’s froth!”
Thanks pj for that bit of history of the Federalist Party and the campaign of 1800. Knowing our history is a good thing! Gore mentioned this period yesterday in his speech. It was sobering to hear him say that as a country we have always been able to right the ship after periods of overreach. But, he is unsure we will be able to do it this time.
Melina, credit it any way you like. If there is real cash money involved, though, we could talk about it later.
”Let’s froth!”
Look here, brother, who you jiving with that Cosmik Debris?
This is important because Im thinking of throwing in behind a draft Gore movement and I think that the only things that people can say about him is that hes stiff (after Kerry I doubt we’ll hear much of that!) and that he thinks he invented the internet, which is not true…and this Tipper thing. Didnt Tipper also speak out about depression?Ive been hoping for Edwards and will also support him…but when I hear Gore I am transported back to a time when Clinton was in office and things were sorta OK (besides welfare reform and NAFTA…)
Hillary said something stupid yesterday and I just dont see it…
Zappa had such a great speaking voice. He did disappoint me once. I was putting together a radio show about Williams Burroughs. “William Burroughs and his musical friends, disciples and fellow trravellers.” As part of the show, I dug up a recording of Zappa reading from Naked Lunch at a big (Nova) convention in NYC. Bad. Which was surprising. I believe that Frank was pinch hitting for Keith Richards, who was in court in Toronto.
Melina, listen, the Tipper thing annoyed me, but I don’t think she would be any problem for an Al Gore campaign. I’d be behind him 100%! Go for it Melina! I support you…:fire:
Rescue us Gore. From that evil chimp and his band of flying monkeys.:omg:
:love:
Nicki, have you ever heard the recording of “The Priest They Called Him”, by William Burroughs and Kurt Cobain? It’s a spoken word by William over the drowning of feedback by Kurt….
Melina, Regarding comment #97
http://www.algoresupportcenter.com/
For Al Gore in 2008 and different ways to get involved.
Rachel is off and Springer is on,
thus I am gone. Yawn. :yawn:
:fire:
Another good William S. Burroughs colaboration is Tom Waits’s Black Rider…ai’nt no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones!! :omg:
As with pretty much everything, it isn’t a B&W issue. Again, I think Tipper was well-intentioned, and I think that things like the V-Chip in TV’s is a good thing (which porbably nobody bothers to use).
The problem isn’t advertising revenue, but that people start banning things based on a label (and who gets to do the labelling?), or that creative people self-censor in order to get their books sold at Target or Wal-Mart. What retailer wants to be the one that sells “bad” stuff?
Certainly, it isn’t easy to try and control what your kids see and hear once they walk out the door. Hell, we used to get hold of smut when I was a kid – and that was 30 – 35 years ago. I also read Dalton Trumbo when I was in elementary school, and he’d been blacklisted during the red scare (by the way, read his book “Johnny Got His Gun” sometime, if you can find it; I read that in 3rd grade – it’s no wonder I turned out so strange).
It’s when the Kristian Konservatives (or the Joe McCarthy’s) start to dictate what I can or can’t read or see that I start to worry. Now, if they labeled CD’s but made it illegal not to sell them (which would be pretty impossible to do; I don’t know that you could force every retailer to carry every CD ever recorded), then maybe it would work.
But, again, it isn’t a B&W issue. I mean, you could insist on sitting down and listen to everything the kids buy before you let them keep it, but, damn, some of that stuff is just awful. :blech: I mean, back in my day, music was music, and….
“Magic Bullets” George. I found a lot of stuff. Made connections that WSB was probably not aware of.
Thatnks Jason!…Im still not sure. I just searched and what Tipper did thats important is that she spoke out about depression, which was not widely talked about at the time and was/is a very important issue!I will try to read the Gore page and get back to you all…..I just want some hope.
This Alito thing, the senators all backing down, watching Shays do his thing over the weekend….I just dont think that we are represented at all. There has to be some way to take the profit/power out of the political thing and bring it back to people who have a passion for how this thing works….and what the people really want and need without all the manipulation.
Nicki, I think The Black Rider is one of the best albums ever made….I wish I could’ve been there in Germany when they produced the live play with the music….Wow! :omg:
November’s cold chains tied with wet boots and rain, get word to April to rescue me…. or something like that…
“I said the chief of police skinned alive in Bagdad. Not Washington DC”.:omg:
“What! British Prime Minister overthrown in a rightist coup. You idiot! You’ve liquidated the Commissar.”
OK, I got Gore’s speech onto my iTunes…only took a couple of hours …the box keeps popping up to ask me to give a password to AAR but they gave me Al Franken and Majority Report for yesterday…I think they are just practicing how they are gonna do it. Screw them…unless I have to do it to get Marc’s show (ie cant get it on XM or through streaming) Im not paying them a cent!
First thing Melina, never give up hope! We’ll work together to get it straight! Stand up and GO!!!:peace:
Hey Melina where did you get the Gore speech in mp3? I’d love to have it…:love:
Anybody listening to Adam Caroli?:omg:

“I refuse to despair in this moment. I refuse to allow myself to fall into the dark chambers of pessiimism because I think in any social revolution the one thing that keeps it going is hope. And when the hope dies, somehow the revolution degenerates into a kind of nihilistic philosophy, which says you must engage in disruption for disruption’s sake.”

Is Lance from Manhatten on this blog. He sent a great e-mail to Malloy last night. Who is Lance?:?:
well, pj, I guess that everything is open to debate and intelligent people debate and think about these things. In a society where most people HAVE to shop at Walmart because its so cheap and because there often isnt transportation to go to a faded downtown with actual stores, this can be a problem…
and I come up againt myself in these debates (my more conservative self and where I draw the line)…But in my city right now there is quite a disparity between the rich and poor with little inbetween so Im dealing all the time with people who are really, really poor and alot of people who dont speak english but their kids do. The rich folks up here often dont pay attention because the babysitter handles those things, and the poor people are living in projects and trying to work on welfare or whatever is left of any programs…and the kids are often the only ones who speak english and go out into the neighborhood, so alot of them sort of run things…there is a rap soundtrack down there and Im not sure what theyre saying: I hope its that Bush doesnt care about black people!!…but its often just horrible stuff about shooting eachother and women as ho’s…
I just want parents to know! I dont want it censored because it is incredible protest music and it comes out of the real pain that people are feeling…but, man…sometimes it seems like things are so out of control in all walks of life. Some of these kids that I know personally are one mistake away from becoming a gang member or flunking out of school….I guess I hope that the labels on things help parents who are really struggling feed their kids well and know what part of pop culture is being fed to them.
By the way, speaking of stuff on iFilm, I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Bright Eyes performing “When the President Talks to God” on Leno, but it’s worth a look, if you haven’t.
wow, you keep writin’ and I’ll keep stealing it. Damn that’s good stuff.
well it is time once again to venture into the truck stop for breakfastr and to suffer with fox news blaring 5 ft in front of my face wish me luck everybody
Try not to choke man,’cause that’s never good.
The cspan page has gore’s speech up as the podcast feed of the week or whatever. They have a few thing syou can subscribe to and this one is the best of the week or something. Anyway, I pasted that page to my itunes (which seems to crash everytime the AAR sing in box comes up) and it put it on my ipod…like a little miracle!! Ill never get used to this stuff
One more thing on censorship….as in being up against myself on this one….My 95 year old grandfather is a radio pioneer and was involved with the McCarthy trials in that he testified somewhere (I have the original transcript of part of it here) and he had to use his writers under assumed names. He was also in Red Channels….But he is pretty horrified at how things are going culturally as well as in the government. Its interesting to talk to him about where to draw the line….as a son of russian immigrants who came here fleeing the pograms (sp?) he is the most liberal guy I know…but he also finds alot of what is out there and how people have ot live these days troubling.
What to do?
pj, yeah that spot by Bright eyes was great…When the President Talks to God….from The Jay Leno show…incredible….:fire: Bright Eyes is just basically one young man from Nebraska….I like it and envy it…I’m from Iowa and play music as well….wish I could’ve written that song and sang it to a national audience….I bet he was shaking after that performance…
Goodnight all!
Yeah, I remember seeing Bright eyes on the Leno. Everyone thought that Leno and Co. didn’t know that Brian would play that song. It was right after Schwarzzenager(or however the hell you spell it) came out of the wood work and declared himself king of Cali.
I became a fan after that show, big time. But now I can’t really listen to much of anything. Anyway….
I just figured out that I just need a heart to be complete with the theme that I have goin’…You get?
Correction–Okay I wrote Brian, but I meant Conor.
Yup, I’m off to see the Wizard. Later :sheep:le
PJ–
I’m on all available do not call lists (state, federal, even cell), but it doesn’t cover groups or companies to which I once donated or subscribed. That’s a mighty big loophole and most times I don’t even bother answering. But when I see the same number on the caller ID several times a day, sometimes I just have to get my two cents in. It’s amazing to me how, even after listening to an explosion of electronic gas (the abovementioned whoopie cushion), I can still hear them saying, “Is citizenkahn there?”
The other thing I do (if I can manage it w/o laughing) is to simply answer the phone and, in an emotionally overwrought voice, say, “You HAVE to stop calling me!”
Like I said, still stuck in third grade.
has anyone here ever heard doug stanhopes comedy? now wal-mart censors 50 cent eminem and every other musical artist but doug stanhope was available on dvd and his dvd came with a bonus audio disc i guess you can put out cd\dvd combos in wal-mart and as long as it comes in dvd casing it doesnt need to be edited
:omg:fuck i hate wal-mart

(I dreamed about him again over the weekend. I remember even less than last time, but it was him, he recognized me, and he was very reassuring about the future.)
I put this TV card in my computer and I can save shows to my hard drive…so I am going to save Marc’s show…but Im having trouble getting things to burn to DVD…there is a button for that and Ive tried all sort of things but I still cant. Meantime I will also VHS it….
I have to figure this out…

Oh, Marc looks so young! It’s his 1995 HBO comedy half-hour. SHould be pretty heavily edited for Comedy Central.
Sedition party archive
Back in the old days (late 50’s/early 1960’s) NASA had an abbreviation for those rockets that blew up: MPE Events, or Maximum Public Embarassment Events. MPE’s have come back for NASA, but I digress. Well, major MPE over the archive; I had security set so high that while I could get to the server on the intranet, nobody from the outside could. So I thought things were OK. Sorry about that; it’s reset now.
Marc’s on Comedy Central – gotta go!
Hey-if anyone knows how to get or WHERE to get the file of Marc’s impending Comedy Central show let me know please! I’m in Japan! I want to watch it! Please EMAIL me the info if you have it! 🙂

Senate Judiciary Committee Vote
The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote on Judge Samuel Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court on January 24 and the full Senate will begin debate the next day.
My goal is to flood all the senators with emails using the information I gleaned from Al Gore’s speech yesterday. I’m not very good with phone calls but maybe I will give it a try. I might even do snail mail. The following is from Al Gore’s Speech. Some points are paraphrased.
-Demand that our Constituion be defended and preserved.
-The structure of government the founding fathers created was one of checks and balances
-Democracy is threatened when the executive power grows and as a result it is harder for the judicial and congressional branches to perform their constitutional roles
-“disrespect for America’s Constituion…has now brought our republic to the brink of a dangerous breach in the fabric of the Constituion.”(Al Gore)
-If the President has commander-in-chief power to commit torture, he has the power to commit genocide, to sanction slavery, to promote apartheid, to license summary execution.” (Harold Koh)
-“If this President’s attempt to dramatically expand executive power goes unchecked, our constitutional design of checks and balances will be lost.” (Al Gore)
-“The President’s judicial appointments are clearly designed to ensure that the courts will not serve as an effective check on executive power.” (Al Gore)
To me, these points all build up to the logical conclusion that the Senate MUST Filibuster Alito if they want to uphold their oath to protect the Constitution. It is a dereliction of their duty to allow this man who believes in restructering the Constitution to sit on the Supreme Court.
GREAT letter, NC Blue.
hey isi mind if i post the gore stuff from your last post up on my blog?
Brilliant, I keep adding to it. If it isn’t in the paper tomorow I send them the latest version:
for those of you who are hunter s. thompson fans, check out mark morford. he writes a column 2x/wk for the sf chronicle. i’m thinking especially of you, seanms aka seaniesean, nickirose, travis, and fred. i’ve been reading morford for about a year now. here’s his latest:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2006/01/13/notes011306.DTL
madgardener would LOVE mark morford. i miss madgardener. can you really channel him, travis?

seanms, no problem
bye seanms. catch you later.
so many excellent phone etiquette suggestions today. my favorites are citizenkah’s electronic whoopie cushion and overwrought emotional voice and pj’s wait just a second strategy. come on phone, ring, ring.
Tomorrow (1/18) at lunch Democratic Senators will meet to decide their Alito Strategy. People for the American Way (PFAW) says Call Harry Reid and Senator Leahy and tell them you are counting on them to do everything possible to defeat this nomination. http://www.savethecourt.org.
melina, about the bird virus, i’m putting my hopes in vitamin c. i get an expensive health newsletter from dr. whitaker that says intravenous vitamin c helps for a lot of conditions and his clinic has used it successfully for 20 yrs. he also recommends a book by thomas e. levy vitamin c, infectious diseases and toxins that’s available from amazon.
my husband is betting on the tamiflu. he says that new scientist last week said we should all buy tamiflu. i hate the idea of it. there isn’t enough tamiflu to go around. besides rumsfeld is getting rich off of tamiflu cause he used to be ceo of the company that makes it.
isi, thanks for the alito alerts. i’ve just re-prioritized my afternoon to take the necessary steps.
vigilance!
Sean, I had to work and thus also missed the paranoid Jew. I feel your pain.
Also, what foggyblue said about Mark Morford. You can sign up to get his column online twice a week. Funny and insightful stuff.
even worse than missing him i called my mommy and she says the tape she tried to tape it on doesnt have anything on it

wow, you guys, did you know that 12 years ago today I was in the worst earthquake I had ever experienced?? that earthquake scared the :crap: out of me.
well, i’m in class right now, but i recorded Maron on comedy central. apparently my parents were laughing at his jokes, so that’s a good sign:banana:
I’m in the process of uploading Marc’s appearance this morning on Comedy Central. It’s a DivX encoded avi file (should play in pretty much any media player – DivX, WinAmp, RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, etc. – probably not QuickTime or iTunes, though).
It’s a little under 100 megs, so if you’re on dialup, you probably don’t want to download it.
It looks like it’ll take about an hour or so to get it uploaded (crappy asynchronous cable connection), so after that e-mail me at pjsauter@morningseditionists.com, and I’ll tell you where to get it.
This is for registered Seditionists – geniuses, philosopher kings and queens are fine, but no progressive utopians with no sense of humor, nor lurking conservatives need apply. 😉
yay!!!!! PJ!! you’re awesome!!:banana::love::banana::nixon::doh::banana::40::banana:

heres what i put up on my myspace blog thanks for fishing out the quotes isi
here are some excerpts from Al Gores speech yesterday addressing george w bush and his administrations total disregard for the constitution of the united states of america
-Democracy is threatened when the executive power grows and as a result it is harder for the judicial and congressional branches to perform their constitutional roles” (Al Gore)
-”disrespect for America’s Constituion…has now brought our republic to the brink of a dangerous breach in the fabric of the Constituion.”(Al Gore)
-”If this President’s attempt to dramatically expand executive power goes unchecked, our constitutional design of checks and balances will be lost.” (Al Gore)
-”The President’s judicial appointments are clearly designed to ensure that the courts will not serve as an effective check on executive power.” (Al Gore)
trust me w hates america he wants dictatorial powers for the executive branch first they stole the elections yes two of them now theyre going to steal the supreme court for at least the next twenty years we must urge our senators to filibuster alito call your senator today tell them what you think and call your congressman too and ask them to urge your senator to filibuster the time is now the fight is in front of us we cannot allow alito to sit on the supreme court the republican majority is heading us towards fascism were not quite there but its only a matter of time oppose this nomination to the supreme court and take your message to the streets for more info on taking it to the streets go to http://www.worldcantwait.net and do your part to drive out the bush regime

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked the Bush administration’s attempt to punish doctors who help terminally ill patients die, protecting Oregon’s one-of-a-kind assisted-suicide law.
It was the first loss for Chief Justice John Roberts, who joined the court’s most conservative members _ Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas _ in a long but restrained dissent.
The administration improperly tried to use a federal drug law to pursue Oregon doctors who prescribe lethal doses of prescription medicines, the court said in a rebuke to former Attorney General John Ashcroft. . .
Note how that creepy Roberts voted. And now, Freeper Alito!
CAP Alito:doh:
Either He Lied on His Resumé or There’s Been a Cover-Up
Alito’s CAP
By DOUG GIEBEL
I once had a legal dispute with a university department chairman over whether or not he had torn down the handbills I had posted announcing a campus talk I was scheduled to give. The chairman claimed he could not recall whether he had ripped down the notices. In the 9th Circuit Court hearing, Judge Stephen Reinhardt told the chairman’s attorney from the Montana Attorney General’s office that it was puzzling that the chairman’s memory was so faulty.
In response, the attorney said he had discussed the matter with the chairman, who assured him that he was 99 per cent certain he had not taken down the handbills; but there was that other one per cent he wasn’t sure of.
When examining the chairman’s resumé, I noticed that he claimed to have taught journalism classes at the University of Ankara in Turkey, although the evidence said he had done no such thing. Later the chairman removed the reference to Turkey from his official resumé.
Some may recall the unfortunate incident in which the notable historian Joseph Ellis falsely and repeatedly claimed to have served in Viet Nam. Padding one’s self-history is not unusual, and as the Ellis story demonstrates, even exceptionally brilliant people are not immune from stretching the truth.
All this brings me to the problem posed by Judge Samuel Alito regarding his apparent membership in the notorious Concerned Alumni of Princeton, a “fact” that was listed for awhile on the Judges c.v. and job application. Unfortunately, the judge now states he can not recall anything about his membership, except that it might have had something to do with the Princeton R.O.T.C. program. After inspecting C.A.P. records, Senator Arlen Specter stated those records contained no mention of Samuel Alito. . . http://www.counterpunch.org
CAP Alito :doh:
In response to White House comments that Gore exhibited “hypocrisy” in calling for a Special Prosecutor, saying that the Clinton administration had wiretapped some Americans, Gore will make this statement shortly. It was leaked to RAW STORY in advance.
GORE: “The Administration’s response to my speech illustrates perfectly the need for a special counsel to review the legality of the NSA wiretapping program.
The Attorney General is making a political defense of the President without even addressing the substantive legal questions that have so troubled millions of Americans in both political parties.
More at link — also says Gonzales “disrespectful”: http://rawstory.com/
Our dear attorney general apparently gets his legal info from Faux News.
This link will work better (Fred’s got chopped off for some reason).
Tnx Pj
Hartman explained that the guy Clinton phone tapped was working for the CIA and was thought to be selling secrets to the ??? . When you work for the CIA you sign a release allowing your phone to be tapped for security reasons.
It would be nice if the traditional media would challenge the shit this administration flings at them, instead of just doing “he said/she said” reporting.
Wipe Out the Bush Regime!:rofl2:
Paul Hackett, from the Columbus Dispatch:
After the predictable Republican “shock” at what Hackett had to say, he posted a reply on his website:
Hey, the wingnuts have a form up to contact your senators re: the Alito nomination (put your zip code in and click “go”).
Of course, you may want to change the subject and body of the message a bit before you send it. :hubba: Here’s what I wrote:
As your constituent, I’m writing to ask you to REJECT the nomination of President Bush’s radical right-wing nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court, Judge Samuel Alito.
Alito was evasive and downright untruthful in his responses to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He is not only outside of the mainstream, but he is a liar.
Liars do not deserve lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is too important to allow a right-wing zealot to be the swing vote on issues vital to the nation.
His nomination must be stopped, in any way possible.
Thank you.
It is good to see Hackett speaking out in the Ohio press. To often those voices are heard only in the left sided Internet world and end up preaching only to the choir.
damn it im all fired up i wanna start campaigning for congress right freakin now man right now damn it
where is everyone?:?:
I’m at a Flying J truck stop in Idaho. Oh, wait, that’s not me.
hey pj whats up with the video link?
In an effort to avoid the copyright police, I’m asking anybody who wants it to e-mail me at pjsauter@morningseditionists.com so I can provide a link to it. Maybe I’m too paranoid. :paranoid:
ok but now that im emailing you youre gonna get all of my paranoid:paranoid: delusional:tongue: mass:priest: emailings
I don’t think it’s possible to be too paranoid anymore, PJ. :paranoid::paranoid::paranoid::billcat:
seanms and pj, good statements on the Alito nomination. Is there anyway you can put an impeach bush sticker on your truch? Probably not but that would be great. Just as nicki noted, the vote by Roberts today should be an alert to those Senators who don’t want to filibuster, Are you ready to have these decisions go the other way if you let Alito on the Court?
Randi had a good point when she called out all the Senators who refused to stand up and challenge the electoral college votes in 2000. She said essentially that their inaction has had horrible consequences including the deaths of thousands if not hundreds of thousands iraqui’s, the death and maiming of thousands of US military. Do they really want to sit back and allow our Constitution and our Democracy to be eroded if not permanently harmed by allowing Alito to sit on the Supreme Court.
Apologies for the misspelled words in my prior post. Kinda tired. Think I’ll sign off now. Have a good evening.
seanms, i liked your rant on gore and alito. your writing style is so similar to mark morford’s.
i would already have one if i didnt think that having one wouldget me a full on truck inspection at every single weigh station i came across damn redneck ass fuckers would be foaming at the mouth to ticket my ass
:growl:oh yeah heres a little story i was in tucson az and i wanted to go to a cool little punk rock store so i get told theres oneabout 6 blocks away so i hop on my bike and ride over and i start doing some shopping they have like whole bins of anti bush posters lots of good stuff so i buy a sticker that says pay attention great little saying to remind you to do something that is completely neccessary in todays climate and i picked up a peoples history by zinn and a velvet underground shirt i bought a couple more things that i cant remember anywho so im checking out and im talking to the guy and he says something about his window i look over and i hadnt even noticed because of all the posters in the window his window is broken somebody chucked a rock through the guys window fucking redneck bastards anyway the owners an awesome guy and he supports good causes and heres the address and name of the place

wow, paul hackett taking on the fascist christo zombie brigade! his comments sound electrifying, especially for what we outsiders think of as ohio politics.
is this sherrod brown democrat who’s running against paul a centrist democrat supported by the democratic party?
the sunday editorial columnist who included paul’s comments was really supportive of paul. i think the columbus dispatch is the biggest paper in columbus.
i hope paul is onto something big for his own campaign that turns into a big about-face for our country with paul at the helm. he’s sure a gutsy guy. so refreshing to hear the truth in such strong language.
So why don’t frickin’ idiot Democrat politicians realize that? Just stand up, say what you think, and be honest. The way to win isn’t to poll every issue, and come up with some cock-and-bull position that tries not to alientate anybody, but says absolutely nothing.
“Bush is a bumbling criminal. Alito is a liar. Cheney is evil.” What’s so hard about that?
Oh yeah Toxic Ranch. They have wierd hours, if i recall. Seems like they were always closed when i was in Tuscon for a show or something.
Next time you’re in Tuscon stay at The Hotel Congress. Sometimes they have good shows though it’s been years since I’ve been.
Drink a toast to Ben today!
Happy 300th! Franklin was an amazing man!:cake:
Hey Pj, I am trying to download that show and it just continuously says “connecting” Do I have to change a setting or something?
good evening druid. i’m listening to the local news for all the road closures and controlled traffic situations in our area. do you have any problems where you live in california with these storms and mudslides etc?
Ray is great, but I moved to Missoura so hes on even LATER now so i simpl have to listen to the archives.
Hey KP, try hitting the stop button on your browser, and then right-click on the link and pick “save as” or “save target as” to save it. It might just be the connection is hung uop a bit, and you need to restart it.
Hackett is awesome !! All that’s needed is for EVERY Dem to start saying this ALL THE TIME. “Push the propaganda.” as Bush said – only this isn’t progaganda – it’s the TRUTH…..
Thanks for the tip, farmerkat. You obviously speak from experience, and I’m sorry for that!

they use a big picture of benjamin franklin on their home page. they think the unitary executive idea is a great idea. they are angry with bob barr. ol ben would be furious. boy, what people can end up thinking when their heads get screwed up.
yeah when i was in tucson with fallout boy we were right across the street from hotel congress at some place that used to be a movie theater
Glen Beck. Is he from Atlanta? I believe I once heard Malloy get on Beck’s case. (I am listening to the Majority Report.)

Aw shucks, you’re embarassing me. 😳
The local NPR affiliate is going to play a radio documentary on Intelligent Design this evening. (8pm pst) I am a Unamuno agnostic on this. Prooove it to me, please!:omg::jesus:
OK, so who saw Marc’s special today? The last time I laughed so hard was when we saw him at Bananas in Hasbrouck Heights. Funny, funny stuff. Just freaking brilliant. I miss him. 😥
(And who knew he was so HOT then? W00t! 😉 :banana:)
I got the show downloaded and it’s playing but I have no picture!:holla: How frustrating IS THAT! And he just made a visual joke :growl:
Anybody get the Maron special recorded on dvd or vhs?:rofl2: I am definitely lo-tech. :nixon:
I thought he was great, and he was busting on the Rethugs, even ten years ago. I hope y’all aren’t having problems with the download anymore. I just tested it, and it took me about 20 minutes at around 100 Kb/sec to download 97.3 MB. If a lot of people try all at once, it may go slower (we aren’t exactly on a heavy duty, high bandwidth web host). That’s another reason I didn’t want to just post a link to it (don’t wanna crash everything).
Unfortunately, I have to go away from the computer now (sad to say, I’m without my laptop for the foreseeable future and am experiencing some severe withdrawals here), and probably won’t be able to get back to my e-mail until tomorrow afternoon. So, if there are problems or more requests, I’m afraid they’ll have to wait. 🙁 Sorry.
KP, what are you using to play it with?
“Fighting Dems” is now on The Majority Report.
Shit. They are all military people. Push for social democracy (as a first step).:rofl2:
oh hey i just remembered why i am running against my congressman brian higgins in the general election instead of just trying to annoy him in the primary i went down to my local dnc and asked how i get into the primary and they wouldnt tell me then they asked me why i would want to run against brian higgins so i started telling the lady about how he voted for the bankruptcy bill real id and damn it theres other stuff i cant remember it all right now anyway oh yeah he voted to interfere in the terri schiavo case yeah that and the lady who runs my dnc tried arguing for all those votes so i decided my local dnc is a psuedo rnc and that they must be opposed and no one else will do it so i need to stand up myself run as an independent and take them head on on the issues so there thats why im running

The video plays for me in everything except for QuickTime. It’s possible that you’ll need to allow your media player to download the DivX codecs, or you can try downloading the DivX player (which will install the codec) at http://www.divx.com/divx/.
Speaking of the death of MS:
Did anyone else get an e-mail from AAR today? I would have ignored it, but the subject header was: “Air America wins big in NY . . .”
Here’s what it says:
(I seem to recall Maron talking about this at the very end. =sniff=)
STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!
:spank:
sgarcia, did you see the email from Jim saying the show should be starting the 3rd or the 7th of Feb and that Brendan was out there helping out? Well, that’s what it said so hang in ther lil buckeroo!
Yeah! And whose show was still on the air in the summer and fall, HUH??:mad: I still get really really mad when I think of the stupidity of it all!Danny:jerk:

When was this email? Is it posted on this blog (day?). I need to read such a sign from god:bow:
hey why would mike seperate from aar i didnt catch what he said
Damn my message was cut off again!!
FoggyBlue and now KP, Ive had IV vit c and though it does sting and feel like its doing alot, you body throws most of it off ( ie you pee it out) and it ends up being an expensive waste of time. Ive also had glutatione and magnesium and penecillin shots…finally it turned out that I had undiagnosed Lyme disease and that it was a different story…
Though vit c will strengthen your immune system if you take 500-1000 mgs a few times throughout the day so it gets absorbed, it wont cure stuff…definitely wont cure bird flu. You may be more likely to live through it if you do take vitamins and eat right…but it wont cure it.
If you can get Tamiflu you might as well on the off chance it works. Look at it this way, the Neocons definitely have their supply of it stocked so some of us liberals have to live in order to keep the fight up. Tamiflu might not work, but all things being equal, its worth a try if the thing really comes. My Lyme Infectious Disease Dr says that if it comes it may not be till 2007. The Tamiflu out now doesnt expire till the end of 2007.Isnt it a little coincidental that Rummy has his hand in that pie?
Its a little unreal that every dirty corner you look in you find one of these guys…
its driving me nuts all day i couldnt place it
al gore is channeling jello biafra in his delivery of his lines wow thats why i love his new speech:banana:
hey where did everybody go? :paranoid:
im all alone here:omg:
PJ,
I went to the wing nut web site and did what you did. What a gas!
Wish I had the time to blog, but lots been coming down in the last three weeks.
:banana:
I got the email and didnt even read it. I hope that the gain allows for them to see a drop. I got the feeling that Rachel would do well, but that Riley will get the shaft…
I dont seem to care much for AAR anymore. If I catch Al on the air, fine…I saved rachel for morning drivetime, but I had to cancel the subscriptions because it was messing up my computer when the box would pop up trying to get me to subscribe…
Its so sad what theyve done….so sad…
I guess Ill have more time for other things now…writing and reading and stuff. Im still trying to get through the first season of 24 on DVD….
its only 11 people dont leave me:spank:
nite all….its been a looooonnnnggg day….
:omg:nooooo dont leave me im all alone
Yay! Thanks for the download and help downloading PJ. That was the first time I have ever seen Marc do stand up and I was not disappointed!:bow:
Here is the email I posted on Friday for sgarcia.
I’ve been preoccupied with spending every moment of the day looking for
an apartment in LA that i can afford. Air America gave us very little
money for Marc’s show, so it’s hard going right now. But rest assured,
there will be a show, probably starting Feb 3 or 7th. Brendan arrives
soon to help out for a couple of months, so that will be great.
If we get a place big enough for my piano, we’ll put your bottle on top
of it. Not the place, but the piano.
Take care,
Jim

aww man i have to be president this week man
i think i can get out of it
melina and kristapea, if vitamin c helps me live through the bird flu, well, that’s better than the alternative. i’ll try to find the new scientist article about tamiflu for you. i hate to line rummy’s pockets but you’re right, some of us liberals need to survive. my grandmother survived the 1918 flu. it took her two years to recover. she lost all her hair and had an operation on her back to relieve some of the fluid in her lungs. the scar on her back was huge. the operation took place on her kitchen table. her baby died from the flu. they waited six months before burying the baby so that my grandmother could attend the funeral, but she wasn’t well enough even after 6 months. it was in the winter time in michigan so i think maybe the baby’s body was frozen and that’s how they could wait so long for the burial, but i never asked my grandmother about this and she never said and now it’s too late. i didn’t intend to talk about all of this but the bird flu is something that is on the horizon and my grandmother’s experience is something i use to evaluate what steps i need to take next.
seanms, you have to be president this week? huh?
do you have to get up early to drive tomorrow? it’s past midnight for you isn’t it? or did you drive to another time zone?
i’ll quit asking questions.
i have to be in louisville on friday so im still sitting in va being bored the being president comment is from marons comedy special
time to take this ship in for a landing. g’nite all. tomorrow’s another day.
hey Sean, i’m kinda broke right now. wanna go to the basement under a synagogue and go get some gold piece? :rabbi: haha!
I was suppose to be president last week, but i just tore it up and pretended like i never saw it :banana:
